Answer 2

Answer:

At 3:30 p.m. she started playing the piano

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

Marcy played the piano for 45 minutes.

She stopped playing at 4:15 p.m.

This means that at 3:30 p.m. she started playing the piano.

( since 15 minutes before 4:15 om is 4:00 pm now 30 minutes more before 4:00 pm is 3:30 pm which adds up to:

15+30=45 min.)
